AHOLD'S ACQUISITION OF GIANT FOOD NEARS COMPLETION
Zaandam, The Netherlands, September 11, 1998 - Royal Ahold, the international
food retailer, is making considerable headway in its discussions with the staff
of the Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC") regarding its approximately USD 2.7
billion acquisition of Giant Food Inc., the US supermarket company prominent in
Washington DC and Baltimore, MD.
Ahold is in the process of negotiating sale agreements with buyers for the 10
stores that are required to be divested. Although any such agreements are
subject to regulatory approval, Ahold has received preliminary indications from
the FTC staff that the proposed buyers will be acceptable. The company now
expects final FTC approval for the transaction in the course of the weeks ahead.
As a result, the Ahold tender offer for the Class A Non-Voting stock of Giant
Food has been extended until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 2, 1998.
Based upon information provided by the Bank of New York, as depositary for the
offer, as of the close of business on September 10, 1998, approximately 48.3
million shares (81%) of the outstanding Class A Non-Voting Stock have now been
tendered and not withdrawn.
